I play the piano and am proud to say I
got my grade 10 this summer at the
Royal Concervatory. Last summer this
goal was practically nonexistant due
to the severe depression I was in.
I did it on Celexa. It was hard because
I hampers your timing and motor coordination
to a degree but for anxiety it is
amazing. Without it I would not have been
able to endure the hours of practice,
the anticipation would have driven me nuts.If you can tolerate it Effexor is definatly the
best in this regard. When on it I was playing notes I never knew existed, but unfortunatly
it kinda exasperated my anxiety and raised
by BP. It is a touchy issue that is difficult
to resolve. In all honesty an MAO is the best
for creativity I've heard. But SSRI's are the
best for making you feel comfortable with an
insturment.Sometimes it takes a little tweeking.
